Pros: Smooth gameplay, good graphics, easily organized army Cons: Maximum amount of people not enough
I'll say this upfront. I have not been able to purchase the full version of AOE 2, but what I've seen from the demo, it is most definitely worth the cost if you want a quality real time strategy game.
The game had smooth graphics and the music...

Pros: addicting, no two games the same Cons: need better docs, could use enhancement to some features
First, this game is addicting. You can get started with it and next thing you know, hours have passed. No two games are the same and with the built in editor, you can create custom maps and settings to make your perfect war!
I originally was...

Pros: New Features, Enhancements, and updates Cons: character voices can get repetitive
As a fan of Age of Empires I and The Rise of Rome expansion pack I eagerly awaited Age of Empires II. When It came out I immediately bought it. I have since been immensely happy with my purchase from the time I opened the box. Age of Empires II has...

Pros: Single player options, new units Cons: slightly buggy AI
Age of Empires I is definitely in my short list of favorite games, so I had very high expectations for AOK. It doesn't disappoint. The variety of new weapons encourage even seasoned AOE players to learn new strategies. For instance, the Trebuchet can...

Pros: Amazing detial, better control over villagers and military Cons: Hard to view entire map, moves pretty fast
If you have played Age of Empires you will love this game. With new civilizations covering the time period following the fall of the Roman Empire to right before the Renaissance, there are plenty of new features to make this a worthy purchase. Walls can...

Pros: remains incredibly playable Cons: persian teams get war elephants which are too hard to kill.
The feeling of elation as you see your troops systematically turning your enemys settlements to rubble is unequalled in any game I have played.
The graphics, superb
The sound, excellent
The gameplay (over the net) unbeatable
The...

Pros: better game play and interface in a new age Cons: not so far
When I first looked at this game I wondered what the differences were. The graphics have not been completely redone and besides the fact the were new units and it seemed to be placed in a different time period I did not see that much different. I...

Pros: Multiplayer, units Cons: single player
Real time strategy games can and do serve two functions -- let you while away time by yourself, and with others.
Somehow I don't see Age of Kings as a loner... I don't know why, I simply can't quantify it. It's something about the decent but...

The object of Age of Empires II is to strategically develop a dominant empire while fending off rival empire's attacks. There are several different stages. The learning stage teaches you everything you need to know to play the game. Then you begin to...

Pros: Build a civilization up from the raw, New weapons, technologies, Online Encyclopedia Cons: Graphic Violence (a Pro for most)
I don't have time to devote to many computer games, but being an avid history buff, always interested in a new tale from the past, I feel as if I am watching history unfold before my eyes with every passing age. A friend of mine works for a software...

Pros: fun, challenging, cultural, historical Cons: expensive, may take a long time to beat, has some bugs
Age of Kings is the third game in the Age of Empires "series." The first was Age of Empires, and then came Rise of Rome. Both were a lot of fun to play, but when Age of Kings came out, there was something DIFFERENT. The graphics are larger...

Pros: Good Interface, Good Graphics, Decent AI Cons: Predicable AI
Having been a fan of real time strategy games for quite some time now, I was anxiously awaiting the release of Age Of Empires II. I frequented the websites and read all of the previews while waiting to get a copy for myself. The wait was worth it. ...

Pros: awsome game Cons: ok graphics
I will admit right off that I wasn’t a big fan of Age of
Empires. Sure, it seemed to do everything right, and it
was a nice somewhat realistic take for an RTS title. I
just found the single player campaigns to be far...
